Easy Cheater Pumpkin Pancakes

Easy Cheater Pumpkin Pancakes

It’s Trader Joe’s week and we have discovered that we can make the most delicious pumpkin pancakes from a box! I know this is hard to believe because boxed pancakes are generally super offensive, but adding a few extra ingredients to this make it so unbelievably good. My kid likes to have them silver dollar sized and I’ll take them any way I can get them.

In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, pureed pumpkin, milk, vanilla extract and melted butter. Add pancake mix and whisk until just combined. Do not over mix. Grease a frying pan with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Spoon small amounts of batter into frying pan to make silver dollar sized pancakes. Flip when pancakes begin to bubble. Serve with butter and syrup. Makes 12 to 16 silver dollar sized pancakes. Deelish!
